…and the pursuit of healthcare... Considering Challenges with Dr. Eugene Stead
Robert L. Bloomfield, M.D., M.S.
Carolyn Pedley, M.D. And Arthur Finn, M.D., Editors.
With comments from Drs. Michael DeBakey, Henry D. McIntosh, John Laszlo and Arthur Finn
Foreword by J. Willis Hurst, M.D.
Addition by Bernard Lown, M.D.
According to some medical authorities, he has changed the face of medicine, more so than any other person in the 20th century; and for the better! He's done more face lifting than anyone in the medical field (he's not even a plastic surgeon). He's done all this quietly, without fanfare; and he's still trying to figure out ways to improve healthcare delivery, while others, younger and less experienced, have given up in utter frustration. This volume attempts to explore the mind of this timeless teacher and doctor in hopes of finding some timely perspectives.
